Linton, R. (1945). The Cultural Background of Personality. New York.
"A culture is a configuration of learned behaviors and results of behavior whose component elements are shared and transmitted by the members of a particular society" (p. 32).
Culture is a term used by social scientist for a people's whole way of life. The word 'culture' may refer to activities in such fields as art, literature, and music. But to social scientist, a people's culture consists of the ideas, objects, and ways of doing things created by a group. Culture includes arts, beliefs, customs, inventions, language, technology and traditions. Culture consists of learned ways of acting, feeling, and thinking, rather than biologically determined ways.
